Valley Resident Anneka Williams Receives National Scholarship
August 10th, 2017
Valley resident, Anneka Williams has been awarded a $2,500.00 scholarship from the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS). FRS is a charitable foundation and was founded by the NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association, an organization representing independent, community based telecommunication companies. Anneka was nominated by Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom (WCVT), who is an active member of NTCA.
"We congratulate Anneka on her efforts as she is definitely deserving of this honor. We wish her the best of luck as she starts her college career at Bowdoin this month," said Roger Nishi, Vice President of Industry Relations for WCVT.
FRS provides a variety of programs, ranging from youth-based initiatives and educational materials to consumer awareness and rural economic development. The FRS Scholarship Program is made possible through the generosity of independent telecommunications companies operating in rural areas across the United States and Canada and the companies that provide goods and services to these companies.

Any entrepreneur who expects to achieve success with a new startup had better be prepared to do a little self-evaluation before he or she begins. Every new business' foundation is only as strong as its founder, so you have to be sure that you and everyone in your life are fully prepared for the quest for success. That determination can be more easily made by answering two basic questions:
1. Do you have the requisite passion and tenacity you will need to actually make your business a success?
There's a reason this question is first, because if you cannot honestly answer it in the affirmative then none of the remaining questions matter. Search your heart and assess your reasons for launching your company. If those reasons amount to nothing more than simply creating your own job to fill an income vacuum, then you have chosen the wrong path. A lack of passion for your chosen business will inevitably end in disaster.
The fact is that history is littered with the remains of small businesses that were doomed by their owners' lack of passion. If you think about it, chances are that you know or have known a small business owner who lacked passion for his chosen business. I've seen many entrepreneurs go through the motions without any real love for their companies. Many have struggled for years, waiting for everything to turn around of its own accord. Some have even gone so far as to press their own family members to join them in an attempt to make things work but often with no better result.
If you want to avoid that dreary outcome, then be sure that you have the passion you need. You have to love what you do, and wake up every day excited at the prospect of meeting the day's challenges. That enthusiasm can fuel the desire you need to maintain true passion for your company over time. Without it, your chances for success are severely handicapped before you even begin.
2. Do you have the support you will need to endure the rough times?
Are you married, or in a committed relationship? If so, then be sure to obtain your partner's pledge of support before you even begin your business venture. That means discussing the pros and cons of your company launch before you ever fully commit to bringing it to life. The reality is that you both need to be ready for whatever comes – good or bad – and prepared to work through the tough times. The last thing that you need when you suffer a setback at work is to have added trouble manifest at home. If your spouse or partner has any doubts or misgivings about business ownership, be sure to resolve those issues right away.
This is absolutely critical. There is virtually no chance that you will go through each day without experiencing some level of difficulty, and when work gets rough your home is the only refuge you will have when you need to rejuvenate and reorganize for another day. You must be able to leave your troubles at work if you expect to survive business ownership for the long-term. If your spouse cannot fully commit to your endeavor, then you are going to come home to a whole other set of business-related problems.
Face it: even if he or she is not a formal partner in your company, your spouse is a de facto business partner just by virtue of your home relationship. Can you rely on that partner to help to keep the home a place of peace and tranquility that provides you with the atmosphere you need to ensure that your batteries are fully recharged before you venture out each day in search of a better life for your family? If not, then that is an issue you should address before you launch your business.
The thing to remember is that you have almost no chance of being better than the competition if your life is so unbalanced that you cannot even find the peace and comfort you need when you come home at the end of your day. There are few if any exceptions to this simple rule. The best planning in the world will do little to change things if you lack a strong support system, and even your best efforts will still leave you feeling as though you end each day with more problems than you had when it began.
Spousal support is therefore one of the most critical elements of business success. It is part of the foundation on which you will build your entire business structure. As a result, it is among the first things you must secure before you begin. Think of it like a video game, if you will: you do not get to move on to level two until you have successfully completed level one.

Members of two Jackson, Tenn., UMCs (Aldersgate & Jackson First) make medical mission trip to Haiti
Members of Aldersgate and First UMCs in Jackson, Tenn. traveled to Haiti in April on a medical mission trip. Susan Crocker, a member of Jackson First UMC (top center photo), provides a personal account of the team's experiences. (Submitted photos)
By Susan Crocker, Jackson First UMC, Jackson, TN
Click HERE to watch VIDEO: "I will GO - Lord, Send Me!"
Hands were clapping on every side of me, and I could hear hymns rising up in the early morning, warm air.
The sun rising held promise of another hot day in Haiti. The sounds of rhythmic clapping and singing in another language were exciting and spiritual. The wooden benches vibrated as the clapping and singing got louder and louder. Our American team looked around at each other when we recognized the song being sung as "How Great Thou Art."
I held a severely disabled child, Pierre Richard, on my lap and my hands held his as we clapped together and sang the song in his language and mine.
Each of us later recounted that moment in time as a "God moment." The heat, the sweaty bodies, the clapping and singing of the Haitians with their hands, faces and smiles lifted up in the midst of this impoverished place to sing praises to Jesus was unforgettable.
"Advent" means the arrival of illumination or grace or redemption itself; but even for those Haitians without belief, the country seems to be standing on tiptoe, offering a sense of expectancy and attention. I've been one of the few on our planet who's never known homelessness or hunger or a first-hand view of war; I've had all the comfort and ease I could want.
Our April 2015 mission team from two churches in Jackson, Tenn. (Aldersgate UMC and Jackson First UMC) saw how the other half (which is to say, 99.7 percent of our neighbors on the planet) lives and we looked a little beyond our too-comfortable ideas and easy assumptions.
Yet, sitting in the open air, tin-roofed, jam-packed church that morning singing hymns ... It was as if Advent was happening at that moment.
Many things are beyond description... How do you tell someone how an apple tastes? We all hear about the devastation and immense poverty in Haiti. But, how do you describe the taste of dust in your mouth as you ride on an open bed truck with the hot sun beating down on you? How do you tell someone about the child on the dirty mattress in a cinder block home alone and unable to move? How do you describe inhumanity? The answer: You can't.
During the course of the April 11-17 week, we all decided there was more than the mind can attempt to wrap itself around. There is a place that is hell on earth. Yet, there is a prevalent sense of passion in every heart you meet. There are cheek kisses, arm strokes and shoulder squeezes. There is a focus of living every day for God. Praises are lifted up for Jesus constantly and when you pray, it is fervently for healing of this child of God. Every one matters - every single one.
Peter, our team dentist, described the moment a tooth broke and Regan prayed it would come out whole. Two seconds later it did. Praises were sung.
Lorie brought a tiny, three-week-old baby around for us to see. She was severely malnourished and dehydrated and her mother was unable to care for her.
Bill and Mickey rubbed scabies cream on heads and toes and offered kind and patient touches.
Courtney spent all day with Peter disinfecting dental instruments and offering a kind smile and making everyone feel comfortable and laugh.
Greg, our team physician, patiently listened to every complaint of headache, stomach ache, etc. He and Deline, a resident, were the front lines of medical care.
Jacob and Barry prayed for each person in the clinic each day.
The patient sees all the doctors. Then, before leaving, hands of prayer are laid on that person for a very personal prayer of healing.
Bob was our front line man. As people arrived, he made sure everyone was in the right line and stayed there. It was no easy task. He weighed, measured laughed and joked with everyone. He was the first person each day to offer a kind touch and smile.
I was the fortunate one; I worked with severely disabled and at-risk children. The five children I worked with during the week would break your heart. Yet, they would light up as we volunteers played and taught them colors and songs.
Not all of us can go to Haiti, but we can each find a place that is in need. It might be five minutes from your house. It might be a smile at the grocery counter check-out lady who found out her daughter has cancer. Those places and "God moments" are all around us.
Reach out, open up and find them. Find the spirit that is its center and it becomes something you bring back into your "regular life." There is an expectation of Christ coming here in Haiti. Advent (Perhaps that is what Haiti has taught me?) need not be the focus of only one season.
O come, O come , Emmanuel And ransome captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appears. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

"Library Integration into Institutional Learning Analytics"
IMLS, National Leadership Grants for Libraries, 2017
LIILA is a one-year National Forum grant designed to increase academic library involvement in institutional learning analytics and develop a detailed plan to prepare academic libraries to engage in this emerging and important use of data to support student learning and success.
Because higher education exists to educate students, academic librarians have engaged in learning assessment efforts for many years. Now, as institutions of higher education commence and commit to learning analytics initiatives, librarians need to explore and embrace emergent institutional learning analytics tools, systems, and strategies as well. Learning analytics "is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs." Essentially, learning analytics employ data to improve learning contexts and help learners succeed. Learning analytics help educators discover, diagnose, and predict challenges to learning and learner success and point the way to successful and active interventions to benefit students. The LIILA project will spearhead the creation of the vision, strategies, and concrete plans required to ensure that librarians initiate involvement in institutional learning analytics and continue to serve as anchors of higher education communities focused on ensuring student learning and success.
LIILA seeks to achieve four goals:
1) increase librarian awareness of and engagement in learning analytics;
2) craft a detailed plan for integrating academic libraries into learning analytics initiatives that support student learning and success;
3) develop sustaining learning analytics partnerships and collaborations among academic librarians, educational technology lynchpins, institutional and library IT professionals, and library vendor communities; and,
4) explore, design, and develop library use cases and data profiles based on learning analytics standards that can be used to integrate library data with institutional data stores.
Project activities include:
1) A literature and environmental scan will increase understanding of the role of academic library data in institutional higher education learning analytics initiatives.
2) A National Forum will be convened over three meetings.
3) Findings and conclusions from the meetings will be disseminated to the academic library and higher education community via rapid informal means, a formal white paper, and conference presentation proposals; feedback on each will be solicited.
The LIILA project coalesces academic library and higher education leaders and experts around common goals: articulating a vision for library inclusion in institutional learning analytics, devising strategies for bringing the vision to fruition, developing use cases that lead to increased library value and impact on student learning and success, and creating the technical plans necessary to initiate action. Through these actions, LIILA will:
- advance the role of libraries as anchors within their higher education communities,
- enable libraries to provide indispensable data to augment institutional understanding of student learning in higher education, and ultimately,
- facilitate student learning and success by contributing to the identification, development, and assessment of the curricular and instructional improvements resulting from learning analytics initiatives.
"Rubric Assessment of Information Literacy Skills (RAILS)"
IMLS, Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Early Career Research Grant, 2010
RAILS is an IMLS-funded research project designed to investigate an analytic rubric approach to information literacy assessment in higher education. The RAILS project is intended to help academic librarians and disciplinary faculty assess information literacy outcomes. Over three years, RAILS will yield a suite of rubrics that can be used by academic librarians and disciplinary faculty to assess information literacy outcomes; a transferable model for analyzing rubric scores; training materials for librarians, faculty, and LIS students who seek to use rubrics for information literacy assessment; indicators of rater expertise in rubric scoring; and a clearinghouse for librarians and faculty to share:
- local adaptations of IL rubrics,
- rubric assessment results,
- improvements to instructional strategies and services made on the basis of those results, and
- examples of increased student learning resulting from instructional improvements.
Although RAILS is intended to address practical assessment issues, it also will explore the answers to several research questions:
- Can librarians & disciplinary faculty use IL rubrics to provide valid & reliable scores of student learning?
- What skills/characteristics do librarians & faculty need to produce valid & reliable scores using IL rubrics?
- What training materials do librarians & faculty need to acquire these skills/characteristics
- How can rubric assessment be used to improve IL instruction and services?
- How can rubric assessment increase student learning of IL skills?
RAILS is funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. RAILS operates in partnership with the ACRL Assessment Immersion Program and is augmented by Waypoint Outcomes. More information is available at www.railsontrack.info.

MGM/Paramount's pricey Ben-Hur update failed to gain any traction at the box office this weekend, taking in $4.1 million Friday on its way to an estimated $11 million three-day total from 3,084 locations while Warners' Suicide Squad and Sony/Annapurna's Sausage Party looked to retain the top two spots for the second straight weekend.
Ben-Hur — an updated take on Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, not a remake of the 1959 Charlton Heston-starrer — was reportedly budgeted at around $100 million, making its opening weekend numbers particularly disappointing for MGM and Paramount, who co-financed the picture.
The silver lining for the film is that it still has yet to open in such Christian-friendly international territories as Latin America, according to Deadline.
Jack Huston, Toby Kebbell, Nazanin Boniadi and Morgan Freeman star. (Read Breitbart's interview with Ben-Hur producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey here.)
Meanwhile, Suicide Squad eased 54% in its third weekend with an estimated $20.2 million three-day. The David Ayer-directed DC super-villain flick will cross the $500 million mark at the global box office this weekend, or else shortly thereafter. Despite an all-star cast (Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto) and rich source material, the film was brutally panned by critics and plummeted a severe 67 percent in its second frame last weekend, only slightly better than Batman vs. Superman's horrific 69 percent second-week drop. The film could have done a lot worse; the big question now will be whether it can cross the $1 billion mark worldwide.
Sony/Annapurna Pictures' raunchy animated Sausage Party also fell 54% for an estimated $15.7 million second-weekend haul. The Seth Rogen-starrer will finish the weekend with around a $64 million total take, an impressive result for a film that cost just $19 million to produce (though at least two dozen of the film's animators have publicly complained that production company Nitrogen Studios pressured them into doing free overtime work).
In third is new release action-comedy War Dogs, starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller. The Paramount film pulled in $5.5 million on Thursday and Friday for an estimated $14.8 million three-day opening. Hill and Teller play young gun-runners who land a massive contract with the U.S. government during the Iraq War. Critics and audiences were split on the movie; it sits at 59% on ratings aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and earned a lukewarm B CinemaScore.
The weekend's final new release, the animated Kubo and the Two Strings, should land in fourth place with an estimated $12.1 million. The Laika/Focus Features film boasts an impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and an A CinemaScore. Matthew McConaughey, George Takei, Rooney Mara, Ralph Fiennes and Charlize Theron head up the voice cast.
Pete's Dragon, Bad Moms, Jason Bourne, The Secret Life of Pets and Florence Foster Jenkins should round out the Top 10, in that order.
At the specialty box office, the Jeff Bridges-Chris Pine Western Hell or High Water expanded into 472 theaters over the weekend and took in an estimated $2.4 million in its second frame. World War II thriller Anthropoid fell more than 50% in its second weekend with an estimated $507,000 and $2.4 million in receipts to date.

For those of you living under a rock / not well versed in the political sphere / not on social media, this morning the Supreme Court of the US ruled in favor of the nation-wide craft store… and its a huge fucking problem.
As you know, if you've been reading YCKMS, I am one of those chicks who, quite frankly is sick and tired of having men dictate what women should be doing with their bodies. For the religious: please tell me why a hierarchy full of old men should tell you that you can't take contraceptives, have sex before marriage, have the choice of an abortion, etc. How in GOD's name is that a valid scenario? JESUS CHRIST someone tell me. And for the secular Americans, dealing with this ridiculous political system we have today: someone please let a sister know why a Supreme Court decides a majority of our laws when it's only composed of 3 women out of 9 justices. IS THAT JUSTICE? Yeah, I feel real great having Antonin Scalia, an old white dude edging 80 years old, telling me – a female twenty-something what I can or cannot do with my body. REAL GREAT. Like, want to hear a fucking joke? All of the justices who voted in favor for Hobby Lobby have one thing in common and it's NOT A VAGINA.
But let's talk about the issue at hand: Hobby Lobby.
Here's the general gist…
The HobbyLobby (a craft chain – even though the company is really irrelevant) case resulted after the company refused to offer its employee insurance that would cover emergency contraceptives. Their insurance does cover most forms of birth control, but as they are a religiously affiliated company, they believe to offer emergency contraceptives (like Plan B or IUDs) would go against the religious beliefs.
Sure apparently nowadays having a vagina means having your rights dictated to you, but this is far beyond a "womens rights" issue. To note: Hobby Lobby is a private corporation. That means its for profit, tax paying, and non sanctified. And this private entity is denying women access to birth control. It's not birth control, but its part of health care. So to put it on even terms with my guys out there – your company is refusing to cover vital parts of your health care. This is no longer a "moral" or "religious" issue. Its a fucking HEALTH issue.
Does the US Government tell cancer patients to "buy their own" cancer medicine?
I didn't think so.
I have to say, thus far in the coverage the mainstream media is doing a HUGE public disservice by categorizing this and angling this as a "women's" issue, when clearly this reaches far beyond that.
ISSUE: "it's my p***y, I can do what I want"
Sorry to get all graphic, hip hop lyric on you, but if there ever was a time for that lyric bit from The Pack, then its now. This is such an age old argument that still hasn't been ironed out that I'm actually incredibly sick of making this argument. Because its like DUH OF COURSE I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT TO MY BODY!
Except not. Because the SCOTUS men don't want us to do whatever we want to our bodies. Funny how everyone on SCOTUS with a penis voted for Hobby Lobby whereas everyone with a vagina was like UM NO THATS DUMB, BYE HOBBY LOBBY. If only men could get pregnant… (#gamechanger.)
There's the case for choosing to do what you want to your body: women should be able to go to their doctor and do whatever they want – without the public sphere (ie your employer) knowing or caring. Guys, say youre impotent so you go to your doctor and get an rx for Viagra, is it your bosses business? No.
ISSUE: Embryo, shm-embryo.
Here's the thing: I get the religious standing. But verdicts still out whether a fucking embryo or egg or zygote (hell if I know what the fuck I'm talking about) is considered "human life" – so to me, this has no standing since that isn't defined. It's not like employees are asking HobbyLobby to cover their goddamn abortions. For all I know, pretty sure IUDs and even Plan B touch "human life". There's conception, implantation, ovulation in which the emergency contraception/birth control comes into play – none of these are abortion I'm almost positive. But apparently, as we all know – that's up for goddamn debate. So to base an argument off of this is just null in my book.
ISSUE: Religion (eye roll)
So you really want to be that asshole who invokes religion to prove your point? Well so be it.. I read a few documents on this Hobby Lobby case and a term I constantly saw was "God's will". Growing up Catholic, I get it. You throw that shit around like its a tangible thing- Oh Manifest Destiny? – God's will… The Immaculate conception? – God's will. The argument Hobby Lobby makes is that emergency contraceptives and birth control interfere with God's will. But riddle me this: Shouldn't God's will outweigh a fucking copper lined piece of plastic you stick in your vagina? Why wouldn't God's will be more powerful than a Plan B pill? Pretty sure Mary in the Bible was a virgin and God wanted her to have a baby (AKA Jesus) so voila His will was invoked and BOOM Baby Jesus. So try that one more time, I dare you.
- All women who cant afford a $1000+ out of pocket for an IUD are now left to… well crossing their fingers and hoping for the best, I guess… because their employers won't cover it.
- SCOTUS men are dicks.
- Just because it rhymes doesn't mean its cute (RE: "hobby lobby")
- Also, arts and crafters aren't really that nice (or at least their lawyers aren't)
- Hobby Lobby not only contributes to the hoarding of knick knacks and craft things, but also to the accumulation of people in this world. Thanks for that.
- I'm feeling like job interview questions that will be added for women will now include, "So what kind of birth control are you on / planning on taking?", "Do you want us to pay for your emergency contraceptives?". You know, the basic job interview questions, coming to you soon because its 2014. Man, I'm amped.
- "Rosaries off my ovaries" should be a new thing.
- Obama just google searched: "executive order to overturn supreme court"… or at least I hope he has.
- Ruth Bader Ginsberg is the fiercest. Here are some #GinBURNS (you like that?) regarding the decision:
"The court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield."
"Would the exemption…extend to employers with religiously grounded objections to blood transfusions (Jehovah's Witnesses); antidepressants (Scientologists); medications derived from pigs, including anesthesia, intravenous fluids, and pills coated with gelatin (certain Muslims, Jews, and Hindus); and vaccinations[?]…Not much help there for the lower courts bound by today's decision."
"It bears note in this regard that the cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a month's full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage."

Cease and desist letters sent to Wal-Mart, Amazon, K-Mart and other retailers to halt sale of toy guns lacking distinguishing designs
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced his office sent cease and desist letters to several major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Amazon, K-Mart and others for allegedly selling prohibited toy guns online to residents of New York, and, in at least one case, in a K-Mart store in suburban Rochester. The letters, stemming from an ongoing investigation, call for retailers to immediately stop the in-store and online sale and shipment to New Yorkers of toy guns that violate state law pending the resolution of Schneiderman's investigation.
"When toy guns are mistaken for real guns, there can be tragic consequences," Schneiderman said. "New York state law is clear: Retailers cannot put children and law enforcement at risk by selling toy guns that are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing."
The attorney general's investigation is focusing on ensuring compliance with state law to prevent the purchase of prohibited toy guns both in stores and online. State law prohibits the sale of imitation guns in realistic colors such as black, blue, silver or aluminum, unless it has a non-removable one-inch-wide orange stripe running down both sides of the barrel and the front end of the barrel.
One of the retailers sent a cease and desist letter, Wal-Mart, was the subject of an earlier investigation by the attorney general's office into in-store sales of such toys, which resulted in a court order prohibiting them from selling toy guns in New York. The A.G.'s office said it now appears those sales have moved to the online marketplace.
This new investigation reveals many prohibited toy guns, priced from less than $10 to as much as several hundred dollars, can be easily purchased online and shipped into the state. The recent investigation also uncovered that at least one retailer is selling illegal toy guns in its stores.
Some of the toy guns discovered during the investigation are advertised as "realistic looking" and "full size." Since they lack the orange striping down both sides of the barrel as required under state law, these imitation assault rifles, shotguns and pistols closely resemble dangerous weapons, and could be easily mistaken for real weapons by law enforcement and civilians alike.
The attorney general sent cease and desist letters to the following online retailers for selling illegal toy guns:
Since 1997, at least four individuals have been killed in New York, and one child was seriously wounded, when law enforcement officers mistook toy guns for real guns. To report the sale of illegal toy guns, consumers are encouraged to contact Schneiderman's consumer helpline at 800-771-7755.

I mentioned in my previous post that we visited in August 2016 Lofoten islands in northern Norway to take photos of their amazing nature and to do some day hikes. The hike locations and routes were inspired by 68north blog which has great instructions and pictures of different hikes around the islands.
After looking through most of different recommended routes and their difficulty levels we ended up taking three one day / half day trails during our trip: Røren, Festvågtind and Kvalvika Beach. Just to mention that Lofoten trails have a bit different difficulty levels than what we have at least here in Finland. For me the hike up to Festvågtind, although scaled as moderate, felt quite rough and the climb was very steep. I do need to admit though that I am not very accustomed to hiking on mountains and this might also be why I felt it more difficult than anticipated by the description.
As our first hike we chose Røren which is a moderate (quite easy, though winding steep path in the mid-way)trail and started from Yttersand Beach (left from car park and across the sheep enclosure). This was easy and nice start to hiking on Lofoten. It took us approximate one hour to climb up and the views from top of the mountain towards Yttersand beach were beautiful. We took lunch with us and enjoyed it together with the view on top. It is good to bring a light jacket or hoodie even in warmer summer days as the wind gets a bit cold on the top.
The second hike we did was just before to Festvågtind with great views over the town of Henningsvær. The start of the trail is not very clearly marked but it seems to be quite popular (at least during summer) so we followed some other hikers to the start. There are some parking places by the road in Festvåg and trail starts across the road few hundred meters towards Henningsvær. Beginning of the trail was over large boulders but then continued steep uphill on both sides of a rock fall. On this trail I was really happy to have hiking sticks to keep balance and help me climb up the path. Halfway up the trail divides into two, the right one going to a lower peak with a pond on top and the left one continuing to the top. It was very warm and sunny day and it took us with a lot of stops over 2 hours to climb to the top (take plenty of water!). The view from the top over Henningsvær was definitely worth the climb. On our way down we took a different path and walked to have a lunch break at the pond on the lower peak. The water was freezing cold though some local kids were swimming in it on our way up. As the hill was still steep going down it took us some time long to get back to the car (and my legs were shaking after it, great workout;)). After the hike we drove few minutes to Henningsvær for well deserved ice-creams.
Our third and final hike was quite easy, a bit over an hour hike to Kvalvika beach. The parking lot to for the beach is along the road after a town called Fredvang. The parking space is not very big and the beach is popular. When we arrived there early evening the lot was full but luckily as we came for the sunset some people were already leaving and after few minute wait we were able to secure a spot in the official parking lot. There is a clear stone path in the beginning of the trail (trail marker by the road) and some planks to get over the muddiest parts. First half of the trail is uphill until you see over the pass to the beach. This was definitely the best place to get sunset pictures of the whole stretch of sand. The beach itself consists of two parts accessible on low tide but cut off by rocks on higher water. The beach is popular camping place and many people were staying there for the night.
From these hikes Kvalvika Beach was the easiest and Festvågtind the roughest. All were approximately half day trips (for Festvågtind I would reserve more time) depending on how many stops are taken or how much time wants to stay at the end before returning. Here some more pictures of our Lofoten trip. Beautiful place, great hiking possibilities and the natures is just… wow! Well recommended 🙂

European Labour History Network (ELHN) Conference 2017
2 November 2017
The migration of European workers within the continent, from the early modern period to mid-20th C.
Paris, 2-4 November 2017
In 1951, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the history of labour was one of constant movement, and his thesis has been confirmed since. Between 1840 and 1940, about 50 million people emigrated to the Americas. This unprecedented flow in human history not just transformed the New World but also Europe, where in some countries up to a third of the population emigrated. Although not all of these migrants were workers, many were. On top of transatlantic emigration, workers emigrated within each of the European countries and regions, from the countryside to towns, across territories to manufacturing areas, to building sites, harbours and mines. Millions of workers also emigrated on a temporary or seasonal basis. This workshop wants to focus on migration flows within Europe.

No Man's Sky has begun!
This morning I got the chance to download the game and then get an hour of game-play in before work.
Initial response: IT IS FREAKING AMAZING!
I cannot wait to dive in for hours of exploration and name calling! I must caution you though, in the first hour patience is key. Let me explain!
The planet that I spawned into appeared fairly mundane. A red type planet with lots of rock and some sparse vegetation, I got the feeling it was a desert planet. As I start to get the controls figured out and realize that there are things that I can interact with and collect lying around on the ground I start to get excited. I spend the first 10 minutes or so destroying things and collecting elements that I had no idea what to do with at first… but I keep collecting anyway.
Then I actually realize that there are steps to getting all of my gear working properly again, so I start to follow the prompts. Then comes the long journey. One of the elements that I need to get my ship off the ground again is a ten minute walk away. That is 10 real life minutes. In real life not that long, but in-game time that feels like an eternity.
I take the trek across the planet though and on the way I realize that this is genius by the game creators. Make us walk forever and along the way I scan and discover new life forms, new plants, new elements, and a host of other things. A 10 minute walk took me about 25 minutes and at this point I am starting to count down the minutes until I have to leave.
I find the giant rock of Heridium that I need for my Thrusters, collect it and head back. Hopefully I can get there and fly my ship for a few minutes before I have to shut down. Then I see it, I don't know what IT is at this point but I see something. Now my walk back to the ship has been detoured and off I venture to this strange building in the distance. With the ships flying in and out and all around it, I figure it is a trading post. When I get there I am pleased to find that I am right.
Now the units that I have been acquiring by making new discoveries come into play. I can purchase stuff that I need, stuff that I have no idea what to do with yet and more. I am tight for time so I don't spend too much time exploring the station, but one of the things that I do figure out is that I can buy a new ship. Nice, but I haven't even fixed the one that I started with yet, then I see the price tag. 666 thousand units…. I have 5 thousand. Well no worries about buying a ship for a while… lol…. off I go on my trek back to the ship.
Minutes to go until work, but I get there just in time. Repair the final part of the ship and power it up, hop in and bam, checkpoint reached and game saved… holy crap! Would I have lost all of the progress I made before that? I still don't know the answer, but sitting here now I am glad that I don't have to find out the hard way!
I hop in the ship and start to fly, first spot I go to is the trading post to see if I can land. Nope, can't land, so off I go to space. At this point I should have left for work already. I have to see the "seamless" transition from planet to space before I go though! They did not disappoint. The transition was beautiful, my PS4 never skipped a beat. There I was floating in space, looking at another planet and some asteroids!
The boss is going to kill me! I travel to the next planet, it is an hour away. I can't be that late for work…. wait, use your hyper drive, prompts my computer! YES, now it's only 3 minutes away, let's go. I get to within a minute of the planet and decide that if I don't leave now I will stay for the rest of the day!
That is where my adventure ended.
Now I sit here at work wondering what the beautiful blue planet has in store for me. Can I land on the moon and explore it… will it have anything interesting? Am I going to an ocean planet? Do I get to name all the fish, sorry Mr. Weebl but Fin Karfishian and Horatio's Weepy Dick Cheese Fish (sorry Bud) are going to be real!

Blackjack is a very entertaining game, but in order for it to be really enjoyable you need to remember to not be reckless with your chips. Consistency is the key.
There are players who get carried away and keep chasing losses – they bet more and more in order to win back all the money they lost. This can only end with even more loss.
New players tend to think that betting a lot and counting on luck is a good strategy. In reality good judgement is just as important as luck when playing blackjack. Starting small and then increasing the stakes is usually the best decision.
"Better safe than sorry" is a good motto. For example, it's better to stand than to hit when you have 16. The probability of winning gets very low if your choice is to hit. If you bust you definitely cannot beat the dealer.
Responsible playing in general, and in blackjack in particular, means choosing patience, concentration and persistence over emotions such as excitement or frustration. In the end winning big is less important than having a good time and not regretting your decisions. By taking your time when making choices you also improve your skills.

What gives music UNIVERSAL appeal?
Think about your favorite album. Can you remember the first time you heard it? How did you feel? I remember the first time I heard one of my favorite albums. It was ATLiens by Outkast. I bought the record from Tom Tom Music (Now a Curves Fitness) in Sandy, Utah. That was in 1996. This was also the first CD I purchased with a parental advisory label smacked on it (back in the day they were stickers you could peel off, so Mom wouldn't get pissed at you for owning a record that "cussed"). I promptly took the CD over to my homie, Kristjan Morgan's. At the time, Kristjan had the best AIWA 3 disk system for listening to rap. We put the CD in and listened to history. To me, it sounded like an album from the future. I'd never heard beats or lyrics like that. Almost 12 years and three copies of the CD later, I still have ATLiens playing- I listened to it today in my car. I still have the same reaction to that CD as I did on first listen. That, my blogospheric comrades, is a record with Universal appeal.
I suppose I'm getting into this due to a recent dust-up with a few good buddies on a road trip back from Colorado. We nearly got into a shoving match over what makes a band great. I couldn't quite articulate what makes a band universally appealing in the heat of the argument, but I think I'm nailing it down.
Without venturing into a variation of You might be a redneck if..., I'll name some characteristics of timeless album.
If you can't tell when an album was made (80s was fraught with overuse of synth, seventies had that overuse of the octave disco bass riff, early 90s grunge, and so on and so on)it's on the route to Universal appeal. Of course, some of the best albums (SGT. Peppers) are great due to the particular en vogue style.
If as many people in New York or L.A. know about the album as they do in Adelaide Australia, the record has global appeal. (case in point, 50 cent's music can be heard bumpin' by any number of Aboriginal folks in AUS)
If you can name a tune from simply listening to a two-second snippet, the song has potential for Universal Appeal (Arcade Fire's Neon Bible).
Music Means different things to different people. For me, I like music that arouses an emotional impact. Depending on the mood I'm in, I'll bust out some music that reflects my moods. I'd dare say that's about par for the course for most people too.
I love checking out albums of potentially epic proportions. For now, marinade on one of the greatest of all time.

ABOARD THE FGS BONN – A multinational NATO maritime force deployed to the Aegean to help stop the smuggling of migrants from Turkey to Greece has aided in reducing the flow into Europe, in a large part by helping to bridge historic animosities between the two countries, the flotilla's commander said.
The seven-ship flotilla was ordered to the Aegean in February after NATO approved a joint German, Turkish and Greek proposal, with a mandate to carry out reconnaissance patrols to help the coast guards of Greece and Turkey.
Though both are NATO members, the two countries have longstanding disputes in the Aegean concerning the limits of their territorial waters and airspace, which had hampered efforts to stop smugglers bringing migrants to Europe.
They're both now contributing ships to the NATO flotilla — with Greek ships sticking to Greek waters and Turkish ships to Turkish waters — while the vessels from other nations including Britain and Germany are patrolling both.
"What we've observed here in the past few months is a clearly improved, a really visibly improved cooperation between the forces deployed here in the territorial waters," said German Rear Admiral Joerg Klein, who holds the rotating command of the force known as the Standing NATO Maritime Group 2.
"We have always had Greek and Turkish officers in the command ship. They are very professional officers who understand one another very well, work very well with each other, but naturally represent their national positions."
At some points in the Aegean, Greece and Turkey are separated by less than 2 kilometers, which made the route the most popular maritime migrant route into Europe last year with more than 850,000 crossings, compared to about 150,000 in the central Mediterranean.
So far this year, 194,611 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea, including 156,157 by the Aegean route, according to a report Friday by the International Organization for Migration. Some 376 have died along that route, while 1,093 have died in the central Mediterranean, where two boats sank this week off the coast of Libya.
Despite the NATO patrols, which have been operating for about three months, the Aegean route continues to be the most popular for migrants, though numbers have been steadily declining with 12,358 reported in April compared to 27,358 in the same month of 2015.
"Naturally the drastic reduction of the number of migrants who are making it to the Greek islands today is above all else the success of political decisions and strategic measures, but with our mission we're also playing a part," Klein told reporters aboard the flagship FGS Bonn during a short cruise around Izmir harbor.
Klein refused to specify how many ships had been spotted, saying any number would be meaningless without comparisons. Crewmembers said the flotilla spotted smugglers' boats almost daily.
Unlike the EU Operation Sophia, whose ships are tasked with boarding, searching and seizing boats in the central Mediterranean, the NATO force makes no contact with smugglers' vessels, instead reporting them to either the Greek or Turkish coast guards. Of the seven ships available at least three are on patrol at all times, and the mission has been slowly expanded south from the waters off the Greek island of Lesbos to other islands, including Chios, Samos, and Leros.
The NATO ships can rescue migrants if they are in need of emergency help, but so far that has not been necessary. Meantime, every boat spotted by NATO so far has been intercepted, thanks to rapid reactions from Greece and Turkish coast guards, Klein said.
On a political level, however, Greece and Turkey remain at odds, even over the mission. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras last said month saying Ankara was hampering the mission by not allowing NATO warships to operate in the south Aegean; an accusation Turkey denied.
Klein said that the fact that the ships aren't allowed into the south Aegean has had little effect, however, as initial worries that the deployment in the north might force smugglers south hadn't come to pass.

This project investigates the relationship between the financial sector and public law. The legal framework of the financial sector is often designed more or less in accordance with regulatory proposals from the discipline of (public) finance as a sub-field of economics. These regulatory proposals often cherish certain expectations on law's capacity to guide behavior. However, law is not always able to meet these expectations. The meaning of legal rules is often open-ended, contingent, and evolves with their context. The project investigates conflicts that emerge from the disappointment of expectations on (public) law as a means to regulate the financial sector.
As public law represents the joint connecting the financial sector with democratic decision-making, this project touches upon the age-old question whether democracy and capitalism can be reconciled. It argues that this is possible if one takes the deliberative dimension of the law more seriously. Law provides substantive, procedural, and institutional algorithms for decision-making. It does not, however, determine the outcome of such decisions in a mechanical way.
The main contribution of the project consists in a monograph by Matthias Goldmann. It will explore the conflicts arising from disappointed expecations on law's regulatory capacity at the example of policy rules and other legal strictures for decision-making in the fields of monetary law, fiscal policy, sovereign debt, banking regulation, and taxation on the domestic, European and international level. It challenges the traditional dichotomy between rules and discretion.
The project has been based at Goethe University Frankfurt since 2016, where it is affiliated with the Research Center SAFE. It is carried out in co-operation with the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. Funding is provided by the Volkswagen Foundation (Freigeist Fellowship). A research group at Goethe University contributes to the work of the project.
Matthias Goldmann is a Senior Research Affiliate with the Institute. He teaches at Goethe University Frankfurt. For more information, please visit his website at Goethe University.

Earlier this week, I pieced another block from the 501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks book by Judy Hopkins.
|Cut The Corners
Yesterday, I spent most of the day working on my OMG - One Monthly Goal September project. While I am using the original flimsy for the project, I've taken an entirely different path with it. I'm not sure if I'll post photos along the way or just wait until the end. The original flimsy was unloved and tucked away in the closet for many years. Recently I added hexie flowers and was encouraged. Monday, I shopped for fabric and hoped for inspiration but was unsuccessful. After watching a ton of Youtube and Crafty videos, I chose a different direction. So far, I'm delighted with it. The idea was to turn the flimsy into a fun twin-sized bed quilt.
Hope you have a good day.

This is an essay I wrote for an essay contest back in 2013. Entrants were to write a story about the bravest thing they had ever done. Since I didn't win, I guess I am free to share it here now. : ) That's bittersweet. Enjoy…
Tiny. In a City Known for Big.
Are you familiar with the quote, "Once you make a decision, the Universe conspires to make it happen?"
Bumping up against 50, I decided to take a leap and change everything in my life and try something totally new – banking on outrageous happiness. And when I say "change everything," I mean everything: Sell my material possessions. Sell the house that I had worked so hard to buy. End a 13 year relationship that had fallen cold. Ditch my 25 year career. Put it "out there" that I am willing to relocate to another part of the country. I am resourceful. I'd either be a huge success or an epic failure – and either way I would have a great story to tell.
In February 2012 I signed up for a career transition workshop. I embarked upon the hard work of months of peeling off those layers to get down to what really makes me tick, and identifying my natural talents. I dived in with a voracious appetite. Two questions I had to answer were, "What did you do as a child that made you happy and why did you quit doing those things?" The result? Validation. Empowerment. Confidence. I have unique talents, skills and passions. I am bold enough to step out and follow my heart to overhaul and rebuild my life – not from a fail, but with a new focus: What will make me happy in the second half of my life?
I grew up in northern Minnesota, the youngest of five daughters. Up until a year ago, I was your typical girl from the Midwest. In my 20s and 30s I did what was expected of me: I graduated high school, got a college degree and got married. I landed the downtown 9-5 job, and we bought a house. And then, like so many others, I just kept going to work. It felt a bit… circular… But isn't that what success is? We are conditioned that more is better. Bigger is better. We buy, we work to pay for what we bought, and we buy some more. I don't buy that anymore.
I have been blessed with enjoying the job for which I went to college, and having a successful career path. I've worked for the same lawyer as a litigation paralegal for twenty years. My career path kept me on my feet during a divorce, brought me amazing learning experiences in and out of the court room, built spectacular friendships, got me involved in Habitat for Humanity, and ultimately enabled me to buy a 1929 Tudor home in a coveted historical neighborhood near downtown. I was a princess in my own castle. It was a great feeling of accomplishment and I was insanely happy.
I had to start filling up the house before it dawned on me that it wasn't for me. It was an idyllic street – we were a community. But I felt tied down. Trapped. And I could see change coming at work; my boss is retirement age, and I am not. I was at a crossroads. I didn't want to start over with another attorney. And, the legal arena has changed; most cases don't go to trial anymore, they settle. Jury trials are what I really love. I needed a pro-active plan of action.
One workshop assignment was to contact someone in the career field in which I was interested. I wrote to Jay, who started the tiny house movement in the U.S. But I didn't just write him a letter; I bought an old wrought iron door knocker. I affixed it to a piece of 150 year-old Cypress wood. I hand wrote my note on a piece of parchment paper, tied it up with a piece of twine, tucked it under the door knocker, and walked it across the street to FedEx. My heart was pounding. I knew it was the start of a new life. I was so sure about it that I had the guy behind the counter pose for a photo holding the box. I could tell he thought I was a little nutty, but he held up the box and smiled.
When Jay called me, I assured him that when he had his first workshop at his new company that I would be the first to register. When I learned it was scheduled for February, 2013 I immediately signed up. Jay called me and congratulated me as the first registrant for his first workshop!
It was fall. I vowed, amongst criticism from those closest to me, that I would be downsized by Christmas. I am nothing without a deadline – and this one was ambitious – but I was formulating a plan and I wanted the new year to be a spring board for my new life.
In October I had an estate sale. I sold everything I owned except for my tools and my camping gear. Letting go of possessions was oddly surreal – as though I was standing across the street, watching someone else empty their house. Odd things tugged at my heart – my tool bench. My rototiller. Total strangers listened to my story and became my groupies.
Thanksgiving week I headed out of town. The "for sale" sign was going up after my departure. When I awakened the next morning, I had a text from my realtor: "We have a full list price cash offer for your house." One person looked at my house – and she wrote me a check. I didn't paint, we didn't have it appraised – it just sold. I leased an apartment and moved in three days before I flew to my parents' for Christmas. I'd done it.
The workshop was eye opening – the more I learned the more excited I became. We toured Jay's tiny house. It was the first time I had ever stood in a tiny house and I was giddy that I liked it, since having sold my house and my possessions I was already committed… I bought the construction plans for The Gifford (112 square feet on wheels) on day two of the workshop. I was going tiny. In a city known for big.
I was fortunate that my particular California workshop included a 3 day build. We helped a family frame their tiny house. During the build, Daniel, the second instructor and a high school construction teacher, mentioned that he was looking for someone who was ready to start construction on their tiny house, who would buy the materials and be willing to let his students build it. Without hesitation I said, "That's me." Soon after, Daniel and I reached an agreement, and I researched and chose a custom trailer company and ordered my trailer. As I sat in my local bank doing the wire transfer, my head swam. I am really doing this!
I had a small set back while the trailer was being fabricated; the high school's risk management department vetoed the project due to liability. But my path was meant to be, and I took it as a twist, not a roadblock. An alternative plan emerged: Daniel lead a summer day camp called MAGIC Camp ("Mentor A Girl In Construction") and this year sixteen girls from eight area high schools came together to frame my house! The project changed the girls and their mentors; I wish you could have seen them. The first day or two we were just screwing boards together – but on the third day? When the walls went up? Those girls changed. They were builders. I saw a few of them at the end of the day when their families came to pick them up, jumping up and down and screaming and pointing, "Look what we did! Look. What. We. Did." And their construction professional mentors? Beaming. It changed everyone there.
On September 15th my house will be moved from California to Dallas where I will personally complete the construction. My apartment lease expires December 12th – my move in deadline.
Once I made the decision to radically alter every aspect of my life, my journey began to unfold in front of me. It's been an emotional journey, the way things have gone, and the people whose lives my path is crossing. I know myself better now than I ever have, and I love who I am becoming. I'm single, I'm debt free, and I'm ready to launch the second half of my life. I am so excited!

Navarro to 'Spread' weekly show online
EmptyDENVER -- Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction guitarist rocker Dave Navarro is getting an online show with Denver-based ManiaTV.
The hourlong, weekly "Spread Entertainment" is scheduled to debut May 17 at 8 p.m. EDT on ManiaTV.com from the Dragonfly night club in Hollywood, in front of a live studio audience.
"It's like a looser version of 'Donahue' in a night club," where the studio audience can get up for a drink or a smoke during the show, Navarro said Tuesday. "I wanted to create a party atmosphere."
Navarro already does an FM radio show, plus an Internet radio show broadcast from his home through a Web site with his blog and podcasts.
And he's already done the TV thing, acting as co-host of CBS' "Rock Star: INXS" and having his wedding to Carmen Electra taped for MTV.
Navarro said he was attracted to doing a show on the Internet, where there's no censorship and more freedom.
"It's time for people to take back what it is they want to see," Navarro said.
"I want to use the Internet to support artists and see things that are out there that other corporate structures aren't allowing us to see. It seems with satellite TV, the Internet, magazines -- there's almost so many options, and we're only seeing the same five things."
Audience members will be able to ask questions of guests, who may be famous or not.
